Seborrhoeic Keratosis (Senile Warts)

Seborrhoeic Keratosis before and after treatment

These warts are a flat thick build up of epidermal cells with a rough texture and are also known as seborrhoeic keratoses. Sometimes, they are called senile warts as are often associated with age. They usually look like greasy or crusty spots which seem to be stuck on to the skin. The colour varies but usually they are darkish brown or black and sometimes can be confused as to being molles. Though referred to as a wart, seborrhoeic warts are not caused by the HPV virus, they are viral within the skin but not contagious to other people.

Often the warts are circular although they can also be oval in shape, some have an irregular shape and their size can vary from around one centimetre to several centimetres in diameter.

Seborrhoeic warts tend first to appear around the age of 40. They can sometimes run in families. The actual cause of these warts is unknown. It can be common to develop several seborrhoeic warts as you become older. Also, as time goes by, each wart tends to grow slightly and become darker. They can occur anywhere on your body, other than on your palms or soles.

The longer they are left untreated the more established they become, as they set down fibrous attachments into the skin. Once removed though, new fresh skin will emerge. These are 1 of 3 blemishes which we recommend are treated sooner rather than later. The others being blood spots and age spots.

The treatment to remove them is by diathermy cauterisation whereas the wart is gently eased off the skin by cauterising the fibrous tissue attaching them to the skin. A scab will form and when fully healed the scab will drop off to reveal new clean skin undderneath

Testimonials

"Inskin Group was the first clinic that came up on my internet search and they were also the closest to my home. I had a skin tag removal done and the price was reasonable. I was quoted prior to the appointment.

I thought they lady who did the removal was rather lovely. No aftercare or follow-ups were necessary. Staff and facilities were both great. I did have a bit of trouble finding the clinic, but this was the only problem I experienced. Everything else was alright.

"I recently had a tattoo from Graham at Inskin. I could not have asked for a better service and experience, Graham listened to my ideas and then came up for the perfect creation, far better than I imagined. The tattooing process itself was great, Graham put me at ease and explained each stage and step of the process, he has great attention to detail and is not happy until his work is perfect. Thanks Graham!"- Gemma Corcoran - Black n grey tattoo

"10 years after chemotherapy removed all my eyebrows I finally plucked up the courage to have a microblading procedure done and decided to get it done at inskin. I’m so glad I did as Julie is great and the follow up care (the first lot didn’t take too well so Julie gave me an extra session at no cost) is superb. She makes you feel really at ease and it really was such a pleasant and simple process, I’d thoroughly recommend the clinic"- Mark Holt - Microblading
